Whether you have purchased many homes in the past, or you’ve lived in the same place for many years and you are now looking for a change, if you opt to go the route of a newly built custom home, there are some important steps that you should take in order to determine whether or not doing so is the right move for you.
The first choice that you will need to make is whether or not you will have the time that it takes for the home building process to be complete. In many cases, it can take 6-12 months – or sometimes longer – for a new home to be fully constructed and complete.
As you make plans to move forward with the process, you will also need to decide whether a “production” home or a custom home builder is the right choice for you. A production home builder will usually put up multiple homes simultaneously – and typically these are based on a “library” of floor plans and designs that were created by the builder itself. So, although you may have some leeway in terms of making certain alterations, by and large, you will generally be required to go with what the particular builder offers you.
Alternatively, a custom home builder will generally create one-of-a-kind homes that can provide you with a much wider range of options for design, floor plan, and amenities that will make the finished product truly unique. In this case, you can oftentimes work with the builder from the very beginning in designing and crafting a home from your own personal wants and needs.
If you decide to move forward with the building of a custom home, your next step should be to contact the builder so that you can discuss floor plans, time frames, and other pertinent factors. In going with a custom built home, you will have the opportunity to be much more involved in the process from start to finish – adding your personal touch along the way.
